Since coolibah can be found anything up to 20 kilometres from permanent water along flood plains I've altered the reference that suggests that it is only found near springs and permanent water.
Also altered the Waltzing Matilda reference. Unless things have changed recently the Coolbah found at Blackall (where WM was set) is still E. coolabah, not a closely related species.
I'm also fairly certain that E. coolabah grows to more than 15 metres in height but I'll check with Broker and Kleinig.
[edit] Spelling
Can anyone confirm the 'correct' spelling? Different authors seem to be using 'coolibah' and 'coolabah'. Can we please either consistently use one, or else mention that two alternatives exist? DIV 128.250.204.118 01:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

- Fair enough. Most common usage is "Coolibah" for the common name with "Coolabah" restricted to the species name. However since this is an Anglicisation of an Aboriginal word both spellings are used with some frequency.Ethel Aardvark
